   Any experience from R2I parents as to how they find the autistic schools in India is most welcome. My daughter goes to a regular school in US but has an Individualized Education Plan and also gets some amount of one on one wrap around services

   I have been looking for information on schools (for special children) in Indiranagar, Koramangala, etc. There is ASHA school but it mostly caters to severely autistic children. Need to know schools where they try to mix the mildly autistic children with normal children.

   Personally I have experienced Child Development Center in Malleswaram. It is attached to Dr. Nandini Mundukar’s clinic. My daughter has mild form of autism and she is showing signs of improvement after 6 months of treatment at CDC. It is located at 15th Cross, Chitrapur Bhavan, Malleswaram

   Further to my earlier post on Parijma, Parijma is a Diagnostic Center for Neuro by a well known doctor in this field Dr.Suresh Aroor and he is an established name. They also have child stimulation center for treating childrens with developmental delay and a pre-school which is quite professionally run and a slow learning school. I’m personally availed their pre-school service for my son and it was quite good.

   If anyone wants to check out their service and find out more, here is their contact details:

    I have a daughter who is 7 yrs old, who cannot speak properly. Her assessment results is IQ 62%, which implies that she is not very bad at IQ. She is neither mentally challenged nor physically handicapped. I am taking her for speech therapy at Sagar Hospital, jayanagar since 6 months. A mild improvement can be seen now. My problem is that I am not able to shortlist any proper school for her. Can someone please help me in this regard.

12. Someone, on February 1st, 2009 at 3:29 am Said:

    Honey - Don’t have any specific recommendation for schools. The ones that I have heard of are listed here. May be a good idea to talk to the schools mentioned above and get some thoughts (they may have a referral network).

    Reg. speech. - have you tried NAET (treatement?). I remember, Sister Naina in Sophia School was doing this. Talk to her and find out if it may help.

    Good luck.

    Hi, My son who is now 12 years old is diagnosed as LD. His IQ is close to 80. He is in to 5th standard and will migrate to 6th, this year. We are at the moment in Mumbai and my son is going to normal school in Mumbai. He also gets remedial coaching by a professional. We will be moving to Bangalore by May 2010 and i am looking for a school where i can admit my son for proper education especially meant for LD students. I would request to guide me with the names of schools in JP Nagar and Jayanagar in Bangalore. Thanks

22. B M Kalkur, on April 22nd, 2010 at 4:35 pm Said:

    My son who is now 14 years old is having articulate problems. Because of wrong diagnosis of blood group of his mother, the new born had suffered from juvenile jaundice. His IQ is above 80. He is mentally sound, though physically lagging by 2-3 years when compared to children of his age. He is presently going to a normal school at Ittumadu, Bangalore and has been scoring average / just above average marks. Because of his physical weakness, he is being chided by his co students and gets irritated by the same. The present School authorities are non co operative and indirectly hinted to get out of the school. We are at the moment seeking a suitable school nearer to Uttarahalli, Bangalore for his admission to 8th standard, where students of his type could study with normal children with extra care by teaching staff.Could you please guide me.

23. Sridhar, on April 26th, 2010 at 11:22 am Said:

    Kalkur: You might want to consider one of the alternate schools for him. It might provide him the right amount of freedom for him to do the things he wants. You are likely to face the problems that you have highlighted in any of the main stream schools.

    Good luck.

    Hi,
    You could also approach the play therapy centre, which is located on Infantry Road. This is a very newly introduced therapy in India and is known to be very effective. Here, the therapist systematically uses play to communicate with the child and utilizes the play room with a wide range of toys and activities to help facilitate creative and emotional expression. Children are given an opportunity to express themselves with a variety of styles like art therapy, sand play, dramatic play and fantasy play to develop cognition, motor skills, and emotions.
    This centre offers special modules for Children with Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome.
    You could log onto www.hooplacare.com or even call 65836544 or 9902327172
    Address: No.106, MB Centre 134, Infantry Road Bangalore 560001

Although it is mainly meant for children within the age group of 3 to 13 years..they have enrolled kids who are much older. May be you should try there:) and it not only offers modules for Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome, it also addresses children with issues like depression, anxiety, stress and Learning challenges:)
